Without him, maybe we won't have a Les Paul guitar.

haha.. he's real dude. he even invented multi track recording and sound on sound recording. maybe if there's no les paul, there's no multi track recording softwares and SOS (sound on sound) effect in Boss DD-20.

Thanks to him, the SG is called an SG!!! He kinda disallowed the usage of his name for any variations of the LP.. :mrgreen::mrgreen:

"The "Les Paulverizer"

During his radio shows, Paul introduced the legendary "Les Paulverizer" device, which multiplies anything fed into it, like a guitar sound or a voice. This even became the subject of comedy, with Ford multiplying herself and her vacuum cleaner with it so she could finish the housework faster. Later Paul made the myth real for his stage show, using hidden equipment which over the years has become smaller and more visible. Currently he uses a small box attached to his guitar; it is not known how much of the device remains off-stage. He typically lays down one track after another on stage, in-sync, and then plays over the repeating forms he has recorded. With newer digital sound technology, such an effect is available commercially in a stomp box. To this day, no one knows exactly how the Les Paulverizer works."
